i should be getting the speed controller (mamba max) by the end of the week so it should be running soon.

Good look'in start.:yes:

i would be kina worried about your battery thoug... i made a plasic box for mine and added foam around the entire inside. with it exposed like that if you roll over it wil lreally bang it up...and we all know lipos are delicate:whistle:

I'm guessing you shop at the Hobby People in Chino Hills?

Lookin' good so far!

oh dont worry about the battery. i still got to make a tray for it lol.

and metalman. i work at hobbypeople in chino hills lol.

well thanks for the comments.

ok i just put my order in for a motor mount, pinion, and wing mount.


cant wait tell its gets here.

Have I asked you that before? If not, it must have been someone else :lol:.
I work at the HP in Fountain Valley. And I use that same battery in my Hyper 8, and 359 controls the steering. Good stuff!

Looks good! I can't wait for my roller to get here so I can begin my first conversion.

i also noticed it did not have the flat spot for the set screw on the pinion to go onto. do you just have to tighten the set screw as best you can or is there something else i have to do. (i have not gotten the pinion yet but does it use a set screw or is it a push on one?)

Dremel with cuting wheel, you make a small flat spot

Yup, do it yourself. The pinion won't hold unless you make the flat spot. You can also use a sanding wheel for slower (more controlled) results.

ohh ok thanks. maybe i well do this tom. once i get the pinion

hey drkros3
is that motor this http://www.superfastrc.com/feigao-5408409xl-.html

yes it is. thats cheaper then what i paid also lol.

still waiting on my motor mount and pinion. but i got new arms. i got the rpm arms. they are super nice :yipi:

dont worry they are all the same color blue. its the flash that made it look weird

noticed that you have the long travel suspinsion on the revo any different than the stock suspinsion setup.

i dont really konw. i never ran the stock setup. i put that one right when i got my revo.

:yipi::yipi::yipi: the rest of the stuff came in today. im so happy tomorrow im going to be doing the first run.

i know the esc is not on it yet but i do got it. i just left the mount im going to be using at work.

Things are looking great so far.

Wow, it's make me wanna hurry my along. Finger's crossed, I will be able to get a MMM shortly after the first of the year.

i got my revo done today and i drove it for the first time and it went backwards lol. i had the diff's upside down lol. i fixed that and i locked the tranny into second so thats all good and wow. its amazing. its much more faster then i thought it would be. and it wheeles like crazy. i drove it for like 10min today and tom. morning im going to go to the park and see how long the battery is going to last.

i well get some better pics later.

To cut down on the wheelies, loosen the slipper slightly. Not too much, as it will heat up. You will find that it will still wheelie, but you should be able to get more aggressive with the throttle on lauch. If you loosen up the slipper too much you wil hear it scream as it slips.

Nice truck!!!
When you gonna have a vid of what it can do?

i well try and get a vid once i find some one with a good video camera

Looks great! Can't wait for a video of it.

Looks great! My roller arrived today. This has me inspired.

man you are running brushless you did not need to flip the diffs you could have just swiched the motor wires. nice build BTW

No, he couldn't....Read the thread about it...

What am I missing? :neutral: He should have been able to just change the wires on the motor and ESC. Or is his motor sensored?

feigao's aren't sensored i don't know why he couldn't of swiched the wires.... :no:

O cause it is locked into second and i am guessing it is like a one way or am i wrong.

Thats what I thought.:neutral:

No, thats just it, the tranny isn't locked. If it were, it wouldn't be a problem. When he switched the wires it simply reversed the motor direction, but the problem was that the OWB prevented it from moving...Which would be why he had to flip the diffs. Make sense?

OWB?

OWB = one way bearing

I understand the one way bearing now but where is it located?

OWB = Old White Beggar?
